US Army Selects Cobham to Develop Future Explosive Detection System

US Army Selects Cobham to Develop Future Explosive Detection System

27 Oct 2015

A team of Cobham colleagues has been contracted by the US Army to develop next generation technologies that can detect landmines and other explosive hazards hidden in the ground.

The $4.17 million development effort will take three years and
result in a highly specialized handheld technology demonstrator
designed to offer the Army a potentially unique system with
increased capability beyond what similar systems can provide
today.

Work performed under this contract will occur at Cobham Antenna
Systems' business unit locations at Marlow and Leatherhead,
England, at the direction of the Army's Communications-Electronic
Research Development and Engineering Command.

Tom Garvey, Vice President and General Manager of Cobham Antenna
Systems, explained: "As a result of this program Cobham will
deliver enhanced handheld Counter-Explosive Hazard detection
systems for evaluation. The continued need for protection of US
forces against buried threats is a key priority and this contract
will allow Cobham to build on the considerable capability offered
by the current Minehound family of detectors, as it develops next
generation systems. Cobham has adapted its advanced
technology for the most demanding military environments and
requirements, and these detectors form part of an extensive
portfolio provided by Cobham which protect lives and
livelihoods."
